- Thank YOU!
Subcommittee co-chairs met last week for an update on their work and to discuss potential start time options. All of the potential start time ideas will be presented to the Board, staff, students and the parents with the rationale for each of the options.
This year Caring Kids annual Holiday Gift Drive for the NJ Regional Day School in Newark, provided holiday gifts for special needs children and families with over 1,400 gifts, 125 pairs of shoes and just over $4,800 in supermarket gift cards.
Thanks to all who have donated to the many gift drives going on in our schools and to the Millburn Police department’s annual Toys for Tots campaign and other efforts to give this holiday season.
I want to wish everyone warm holiday wishes and a Happy New Year!

Assistant Superintendent's Report
GOAL #3
Today, Cole Callahan from the Garden State Equality provided training specifically geared for administrators. The training helped the administrators understand the who, what, why, and how surrounding the LGBTQ youth and creating safe and affirming spaces for them. She covered the upcoming LGBTQ Inclusive Curriculum Law and what it is to be included.
GOAL #3
Dr. Joshi completed her fourth day of training the second cohort of teachers from all levels K-12. She will return to train another cohort of approximately 40 staff members this winter. In addition, she will work with teachers this spring in culturally relevant teaching and anti-bias/social justice curriculum development. Dr. Joshi will be presenting, “Where We’ve Been and Where We Are Going: Race, Immigration and Citizenship” for parents on Tuesday, January 21, 2020. The event will be held from 7-9 PM at the Millburn High School Auditorium. The snow date will be February 4, 2020. All are encouraged and welcome to attend!
